I was driving on I-70 West from Denver to Grand Junction, over the Rockies, past the Eisenhower Tunnel when I heard on the radio that Lou was gone.

I learned to play piano by ear to the Lou Rawls LIVE album. My all time fav...I can recite it. Lou has a most distinctive, soulful talent; mixing his playful; intelligent humor throughout. I recommend the album to one & all. The assembly of musicians here very tasty. Wonder if any are still with us? Would love to read about their recollections of the recording event and the era. Searched this tune in memory of my mom; a jazz singer who left us sadly of Cancer a year ago. Musician friend

So gorgeous. Lou Rawls has the most beautiful, velvety voice. Is that George Benson on guitar?

No. It's Herb Ellis.
